Not so, EGA's 320x200 is 16 out of a pallette of 64 colors, while CGA's is 4 colors out of well, 4.  EGA's 640x350 is 16 colors, not 1 as in hercules.  Also, many EGA boards today can be places in hercules emulation mode.  As for me, I have VGA.  There are better, but I don't have that kind of money.  640x480x16 and 360x480x256 are nice resolutions.  Plus it's even possible for me to use some tweaked 750x510 type modes without much problems from the monitor.
